Re: First Lines

Even though he knew this one would get him burned, it was a job he could not walk away from.

Re: First Lines

I consulted my diaries. I had indeed already seen one of these. Relieved that my record still stood I turned and said, "Thank you, but I had already seen everything before this...."

Re: First Lines

It seemed an odd way to start a conversation, pointing a gun at my head. But all he'd done since reminding me of my mortality was bombard me with questions about my relentless headaches.

Re: First Lines

Just because I was dressed in a fish costume and tied to the bed with sticky taffy was no excuse to shriek angrily at me, yet that is exactly what my wife did when she came home early from work last Monday.

Re: First Lines

You want to know why I'm hiding, I suppose. It's simple. When I infiltrated the alien base in northeastern Russia I had no idea what was in store for me. When they found me out, they beat me and left me for dead.

I'll never be able to be around brooms ever again.
